   I know this is a very old post but, having just wrestled with this myself I   
   thought I'd add a little something - a variation of Tim Meddick's 2/19/14 post:   
      
   echo I want to see this on-screen and logged > TempLog.txt &type TempLog.txt   
   &type TempLog.txt >> RealLog.txt   
      
   The issue with the original was that it stomped  log_file.txt  on every write.   
   If the batch file has multiple logging points, you'll want to avoid that. The   
   line above does this by putting the contents of the temp log file on the   
   screen and then    
   appending it to the 'real' log file. On the next pass, the temp file is   
   overwritten (so you only see the current message) and is added to the master   
   log so you have historical info.    
      
   FWIW
